This is a great sauce to have in the refrigerator or freezer for pasta or other grains, homemade pizzas or any dish requiring tomato sauce. You can make it more interesting by adding dried herbs, your choice of vegetables, or ground beef, chicken or soy. To make a thicker sauce, add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
| 2 tsp olive oil |
2 tsp dried basil |
| 2/3 cup finely chopped onion |
1 tsp dried oregano |
| 2 tsp crushed fresh garlic |
2 bay leaves |
| 1 can (28 oz) plum tomatoes, crushed |
2 tsp brown sugar |
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, bay leaves and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced slightly.
